Does abortion equal genocide?
03.26.05 (6:40 pm)   [edit]
Well, this Pommy cardinal reckons it does.

Personally, I think that the comparison is a bit extreme.

I know that this will put me right in the moral relativist camp, but I do think that some pro-abortion arguments have merit. For instance if the pregnancy results from the rape of a girl? Surely abortion is justified in that case.

What creeps me out is the pro-abortion zealot's absolute refusal to accept a moral element in the debate and give any ground at all.

I'd say the way to look at it is that abortion is wrong, plain and simple. And just as there's a sliding scale of wrongness between manslaughter and cold-blooded murder there should be one applied to abortion. For example, an abortion very early in the pregnancy should be seen as far less wrong than one very late; and an abortion after a pregnancy that ensued in spite of the use of contraceptives would be less wrong than one in which there was no attempt at prevention in the first place.

If these ideas (or something like them) were impressed upon people from a young age, then surely the huge number of abortions would decrease. And how could that be a bad thing?

The situation we have now is that abortion is just some perfunctory procedure, like getting a filling. And this is mainly due to the success that the pro-abortion crowd has had in silencing debate.

You said this:

My question to you is... why exactly do you personally believe abortion is wrong, plain and simple?

Why is abortion so right to you that you think that it should stay legal? Who are you to deny the oportunity of life to another. You that are here, you that are living. Who makes you GOD? What makes you Different from them. Last time I checked we are all created equal. How dare you even try to deny the chance of life for a human being?
